After FC Barcelona’s victory against Real Madrid (2-0), synonymous with the La Liga title, Gavi spoke in particular about his long-distance duel with Vinícius Júnior. The Blaugrana midfielder insisted on the intensity of their confrontations, recalling that the exchanges often remain very electric on the pitch between two players with explosive temperaments.
Returning to a collision during the Clasico, Gavi wanted to play down the situation while fully assuming his character: “Vinicius is football. What happens on the ground stays on the ground. He’s an impulsive player, like me. Vinicius is a fantastic player. I told him to shut up, and that was it. What happens on the pitch is one thing, and what happens off it is another. On the pitch, I defend my colors and I give my all. Off the field, I’m completely different, even if it doesn’t seem like it. »
